    Well, think about the other people in your life for a second. How would you want THEM to live THEIR lives? Presumably, you'd want them to live their lives for THEM. Yeah, you'd want them to take your wants and needs into consideration, but you wouldn't want them to live a completely unhappy life just so you wouldn't have to deal with some minor inconvenience.

    Coming out to family and friends might mean that you aren't what they hoped/expected/thought. But that's it. It's your life to live, not theirs.
